February weather forecast
Dimbokro, Ivory Coast

Burgeoning into February, Dimbokro's weather takes an emergent ascending course in humidity and rainfall measures. The temperature range sustains a similar pattern as January with minor fluctuations. Known to be a potent factor influencing weather conditions, the pressure appears subtly lower thus playing a role in the marginal escalation of rainfall. In this month, sunshine hours, daylight duration and UV index remain fairly steady, offering consistent daylight conditions. Despite the ascension of rain and humidity, winds tend to cruise at slightly higher speeds thus balancing out the entire weather scenario.

Temperature

February is the month when Dimbokro's temperatures reach their peak, with averages of 37.3°C (99.1°F) and lows of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

During February, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
